My Daughters name is Aurora and you show us how anything is possible. Just have to be willing and get after it.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Your Daughter has a great name. The name has been the luckiest name to date for this ship so may it be the same for your daughter.

[@highwayman8180]

I love watching dirty, rotting old stuff being made clean and functional again. Especially since it's happening on a ship that is truly one of a kind. Thanks for bringing a piece of history back to life!!

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thanks for the kind words. Sounds like we are much alike in the bringing old stuff back to life..

[@lauraandedwardcannon8861]

I love the history of it all. An old thing coming back to life.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

There is actually a great story behind all of this that I plan on sharing sooner or later.

[@Bjurran]

What I like most about this project is how you pay attention to all the details. I am looking forward to seeing plenty of videos regarding everything with electricity and electronics as that's what I spend my time with.

[@highlysuggestible861]

What do I like the most about this channel? Its proof dreams come true if you work hard enough.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thank you, still working hard on that dream to come true but hard word does pay off :)

[@chrisbucci5034]

I love the fact that what your restoring has class. Things built today lacks class and detail. Saving the past is bringing history to life.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Couldn’t agree more…

[@Seabee_133]

I like to see old stuff, that most people would likely throw away, being restored and this project is that on the next level. This project is a piece of history. I love to see your creative ways of repairing and restoring. Keep up the great work. It's looking awesome.

[@nattydred2593]

I like that it's a very small group of people working on a hopelessly large project, and they don't complain, just keep plugging away at it.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

The group will grow over the coming months but slowly. We will do our best to find the right people for this project. People that have the same passion for saving a part of history.

[@CaptainJohn]

I love how this channel breaks down a complicated restoration into simple bits, I also love the diy ness yet still making it the best as possible. Also this ship is awesome and I want to see it sail again!

[@yatessmyrna]

What I love about this channel is not only the tenacity to take on a project of this size, but also the preservation of a beautiful, and historic, vessel.

[@rontol66]

What I like most is the sympathetic restoration, reusing original materials. It can only be original once.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thanks, Kind of feels right to use original metal from the ship to make the repairs.

[@Mr1jimmer]

I can honestly say, I like the way your bringing back a piece of history .. Most would walk away from a project of this magnitude, but you and the crew are sticking to it like clue !! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the welding, fabricating, and plasma cutting are most enjoyable ! Keep Doing What Your Doing .. Because What You Are Doing Is Nothing Short Of Amazing !!

[@brendanstorey7005]

The undertaking of the amount of work is insperational and as a viewer learn something new every time new content is shown💯

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Glad to inspire. It’s been a pleasure to work on this ship and show the world through KZbin what we have accomplished.

[@johnpatrickbox8251]

What I love most is that this was once forgotten, trash, scrap but you, you! had the vision, friends, and community to make it more than its state of disarray. you! wanted the adventure to restore a ship with a life that

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

You hit the nail on the head. Thanks for watching.

[@ericchristensen2576]

I am an amateur restorer myself, mostly furniture and automotive, so I really enjoy that aspect. I have been in tactical military aircraft maintenance my whole career, as a hobby I enjoy learning about the nautical world. It is quite different from where I spend my days and this helps me to escape and relax. This makes these videos doubly enjoyable.

[@sleepbootbianca]

What I love about this project? Well, about all’osteria everything! With all your dedicated work you are preserving heritage. Seeing you at work, brings me back to the days of black and white movies , ladies in evening dresses, man in tuxedo’s and evening sunsets…… As the (femele😊)owner of an historic tugboat here in The Netherlands I do know very well how much work and dedication it takes to keep it afloat. With or without a T-shirt: I am cheering you on all the way from the other side of the ocean!! Lots of greetings and blessings! Chantal

[@johnjason7204]

I like the way you as a group get along with one goal "Fix The Boat" If I were a young man again I would be a volunteer looking to sea duty as a final reward for all the hard work.

[@dropbear6740]

As the son of a merchant sailor the best thing about your project is the second life you are giving the old lady, insted of her ending up on some filthy beach in India being broken down, keep up the great work, cheers from Australia

[@MachTuck]

What I like about this channel is the project you got into and how you are making progress on restoring this beautiful ship. Way cooler than any super yacht you could find, its a ship with a strong personality. Keep up the excellent work! 👌

[@kimpulsipher647]

Like most, I enjoy watching you restore a piece of history. I do a lot of cruising and it would be fun to wear your shirt on-board. I think it would spark a lot of conversations. I find it amazing that someone sees something like this ship and says I can make a difference. I learn a lot watching your videos.

[@MrWaldorfian]

I love this channel because you are taking a seemingly done for ship and reworking it piece by piece. I enjoy the welding, cutting, fabricating and restoration work.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Wouldn’t trade the experience for anything in the world. It’s been an honor to work aboard this ship.

[@JamieIves]

I just enjoy watching you lovingly restore this beautiful ship. It's definitely a labour of love.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Well thank you, I’m starting to get better at making the videos. It’s actually more difficult than it looks to translate what you work on to film and make people see it how it actual is. Keep watching, It gets better.

[@markgallagher1376]

I love seeing this ship be transformed from something that looked like it was ready for the scrap yard into a beautiful ship again.

[@peterhorwood8893]

The whole project is obviously huge. I like how you break each problem into smaller ones and don't think of the project as a whole as that would drive you crazy. I try and take that mind set into life. There is a lot to be leant from this.

[@ralphn0lo]

Like the dedication to bringing the old girl back to life.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thank you, It’s really been a pleasure and an adventure.

[@jmadjack007]

I love watching every episode's progress in bringing her closer to her new maiden voyage. Please keep up all the great progress, looking forward to every new job you share with us. Thank you.

[@waynebrown5428]

I love the crew and watching this old ship coming back to life! All The hard work to save it.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Well said!

[@wavy1zip]

Always look forward to the next episode. Watching this restoration phase by phase...each little step adds to big picture of one day it will be completed. Very dedicated crew and owner. You have to be all in on something of this magnitude. Keep up the good work!

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thanks, it’s people like yourself that give us a little hope that we’re headed in the right direction. A small bite at a time and one day she will again serve the public. I look forward to that time. Thanks for watching…

[@johnsnow1355]

The people are what make this channel entertainment to watch and follow

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Before this channel I never thought of myself as an entertainer. Just a guy working on his ship. Glad I started this channel.

[@christiantroy3034]

I love the fact that you are restoring a piece of history

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thank you, That’s also my thought.

[@eloheli]

Your dedication, love and passion for this old Lady.

[@davidadams007]

The history of Aurora is great but it is the passion and effort of the restoration that keeps me watching.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Well thank you..

[@fritzmeynejr2983]

It might be too simple, however what I like most is "All of It!".

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Me too…

[@rickcarlyle4914]

Watching you take a piece of history and are making it live again. The care and detail will make a fine ship once again. True love is wha5 will make her float. Great job.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thanks Rick for the kind words. We do our best to pay attention to the details and to do each project the right way. We do put a lot of love into this ship. Thanks for watching..

[@bryanpearson6757]

Love the explanations behind the restorations. Not many people give the “why” when doing projects.

[@someguyonli]

I love how everyone involved with this project is only too happy to share their knowledge with those of us watching. I feel every time I watch one of these videos, I'm a little smarter than when I began the video. Thank you for that.

[@coolissimo69]

What I like in this channel is that no matter the hard or big is the project , you always deliver a great finish.

[@shipyarddennis4289]

I have been following you from Sydney Australia, you and your team of supporters are doing and absolutely amazing restoration job on this beautiful ship, l love the way you take the time to explain everything that you do. Keep up the fabulous work and thanks for keeping us all updated. Cheers from the Land Down Under 🇦🇺

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thanks, Great to see a few Australians fallowing. I intend to make it out that way to help a friend with his ship project in Sydney one of these days.

[@drzvw]

The thing I like the most about watching this project is I love old boats and would hate to hear the Aurora would be lost. Also it is very relaxing to watch and listen to Chris talk. Chris reminds me a little of Marty Stouffer on Wild America! Keep up the good work !

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Marty Stouffer, Thanks. I never really thought of myself as being any good at narration but it seems to slowly be coming to me. Glad your enjoying the project. We will be digging into more crazy project in the coming weeks. You definitely will enjoy some of what’s coming :)

[@libertycan6959]

What a truly amazing project and one of a kind! Thank you for the opportunity to see the progress! Keep up the good work and keep the great videos coming!

[@panacea407]

Been watching since the 1st episode dropped. I watch a lot of boating reno channels, but the ones I stick with are those that are detailed, well narrated and have a clear mission. Aurora Restoration checks all the boxes…and then some. Continued good luck with the project.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad to have you aboard on this channel. We’re gonna get a little more frequent in releasing new videos. My editing skills are getting a little more streamline so more content will get out now for sure.

I love how big this ship is! It’s wild! Like no other on any form of media!

[@mark703]

I love how refreshing it is to watch, always something new so it never gets boring unlike the multitude of sailing channels. They say life is an adventure, I get mine by watching you bring Aurora back to life, Who knows maybe one day I may get to see her in real life if you ever sail her to Australia.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Wouldn’t that be an adventure to get the Aurora to Australia :). Thanks for the kind words..

Chris , everyone has done an outstanding job!! The Ship is looking GREAT!! Goes to show you can put lipstick on a Show Pig! I wish all those with a not so kind comment on the crew would keep there opinon too themselves. These guys put there heart into this project.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

It seems that the people who leave rude comments are generally uneducated on what we are trying to do. They might have their reasons but I can’t think of a single good reason not to give this ship hope.

The story gets much better. Thanks for watching.

I love the people that volunteer their time to such a great restoration cause. Believe me, I look so forward to seeing new videos! Being a single dad, I try to show my 10 year old the value of hard work and how it can pay off, so, we watch this channel and get ourselves excited for tackling our home projects! One day, even for just a day, we would love to come paint or grind or whatever.. Mason and I always look forward to your content, be safe and keep watch!

What I love about your channel ? .... your persistent use of your skills in saving that beautiful boat . The art form that of the way you perform those task . Devotion to her. Yea ,yea I hear the nay sayers ,but I would guarantee any one of the fine ladies watching this ,understand what I am texting you. We are missing in our young men that level of respect ,and passion of persistent care , of doing a task to the end ,without compromise or quitting cause it is hard . So I salute u sir , and press forward with her bow into the wind . From a retired military gentleman.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thank you for the kind words Chuck. It has definitely been a challenge but messages like yours help keep up the morale.

[@jkinnicutt]

One of the things I like the most about this channel is that many other KZbin channels are do-it-yourselfers that try welding. It's really nice to see an actual welding master, Grid, at work. The difference between a welder and somebody that welds is amazing. Keep up the great work, I'm loving watching the transformation!!!

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Welding is definitely a must aboard this ship. Grid certainly has the chops and is an excellent fabricator. Thanks for the kind words..

[@jdwells]

I love seeing how you fix the problems. Also knowing what problems there are on a ship that size. Wish I lived close enough, I’d come help.

[@Rich8901]

I love your originality. Everyone has their own personality and what they are good at. I like how its just normal joes doing something huge. Makes me feel like I could take on an enormous task with my friends!! Keep the vids coming. Truly love the channel and each new video.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thanks, I’m glad to say that the more we learn about video editing the better the content will become and personalities will shine bright. I appreciate the kind words.

[@poorwotan]

One can get overwhelmed by the number of restauration channels on YT but I've gravitated to the boating ones (especially sailing ones; this is definitely the only 'power' one). I couldn't do a thing you guys do as I am totally inept in this type of stuff but I find it absolutely fascinating/captivating to see determined people follow projects through. I found Aurora pre-YT, am in the FB group (where I also suggested doing YT and Patreon), and am a Patreon as well. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

There is a lot to watch on KZbin but have a few of my favorite. Before I started this channel I had no idea of the power of KZbin. It’s amazing how much traction we have gotten from simply showing people what we’re trying to accomplish. It’s people like yourself that we appreciate the most. People who can see this vision as clear as we can. Glad your with us.

[@shanemausome262]

Hats off to you who have become patrons! Your commitment to the cause is very appreciated!

Hi I just think it’s fantastic that you are restoring a ship that has a lot of history otherwise it just go to the scrapyard or sit there and rest away I Really love and appreciate you guys for what you are doing love your videos Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia from the big island❤❤❤❤

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Well thank you so much for the kind words. I feel the same way..

[@stephensmith8645]

To find a boat like Aurora, with such an amazing heritage and for it to be accessible for a private restoration is just incredible. I love the team that you have around you. Doug (SV Seeker) may have the boat the internet built, Leo (Tally Ho) has the boat the internet restored, but you Sir have the boat the internet will watch with the mouth agog. Best of luck to you and your boat!

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Thanks Stephen, I have been watching SV Seeker and it’s really pretty amazing to see what Doug has accomplished. Haven’t watched Tally Ho but will dig in and see what it’s all about. Interestingly enough I never thought to even give KZbin a try until a few friends kept pushing. Simon and Gemma from Ship Happens helped launch my channel and I couldn’t be more greatful. Hopefully the world will fallow our every move and join in and help support our effort. I’m already amazed at how far we have come because of opening peoples eyes here on KZbin. Thanks for the kind words..

[@12jsteve]

In an era during which so many famous elderly and beautiful cruise liners are under the scrappers gas torch in places like Aliaga and Alang, it is truly wonderful to see this majestic ship being saved by skilled and dedicated people who really care. It’s good for the soul - thank you. 👏❤️

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

I agree, There are few classic liners left and more on the slate to be scrapped out just because it makes more sense to take the money then to figure out a solution. I’m glad I’m standing behind this ship and will do so until she is once again a service to the public.

[@JohnKenIRB233]

While I enjoy/like the detail and fast video on cutting, cleaning welding, I particularly love the priming and painting with the crew! Thx

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Definitely more to come. Every video will be a bit different but all will show progress.

[@JohnKenIRB233]

I also like the nice verbal description you/crew provide before getting things going!

[@miketee2444]

I was born on the water and it's in me to the core. That said I feel good about folks saving old boats that are destined for scrap. Anyone should know they are usually ten times the project than most are capable of completing. The fact you, obviously having means and brains enough to even aquire a vessel of this magnitude would choose such a massive task is great to see. It's not practical and may not even be sane but we are who we are and love seeing this girl coming back in fashion. Great job and good luck.

I love watching the this beautiful lady come back to life! I and my family have always taken cruises as our family vacations. We actually went on the second princess ship that was the love boat. Anyways my son and I enjoy watching you all busting your butts to save the Aurora. Thank you for sharing this on KZbin. Plus if you ever start working on the engines I would recommend the KZbinr HeavyDSparks. He has worked with other KZbinrs and works with large diesel engines. Maybe not as massive as the ships engines but I thought it might be worth suggesting. Thank you and good luck!

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

Interesting message in two topics. The Island Princess is the vessel I believe you are referring to and was the most used vessel in the filming of the Love Boat. Keep watching as the Aurora has a ton of furniture and artwork from that vessel that we are slowly restoring to showcase aboard the Aurora. Heavy D has a great channel. I watch some of his content every now and again. That would certainly be an interesting match.

[@YIKES615]

Love the channel and the progress. Always anticipating the next installment. I know you have shown some of the interior, kitchen, cabin, engine room….but look forward to a full video that shows all interior areas no matter their condition to get a better feel for the scope of the project and, thus, the amount of ‘support you and your team will need to see it to completion.

[@joyce52]

I love cruising and I once wrote to you to see if you knew anything more about the SS Oceanic and you responded to my question. I was so surprised and pleased that you took the time to do that. I just recently found two photos that were taken of me on that ship and had a good laugh, because all the photos I had were black and white ones and so faded out and these two were taken by the photographer on board and made it. I am loving watching this restoration and wish I could see it, but that won't happen because I am not so sure I will still be on this earth for that one. Not because of the progress you are making, but because of my age. I would love to see her sailing out to sea.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

I remember your comment well. Glad your still with us on this channel. Would love to see the photos your mentioning. It’s people like yourself that inspire me to continue with this project. I will do my best to get a video out each and every Sunday. If there is anything aboard that you would like to see or have us spend some time working on then just say it and we will make you a video.

[@rudycarlson8245]

She is a unique ship! You and your team have done a huge amount of work in preserving her! When she is done she is going to be beautiful! again I congratulate you and your team in preserving her! She is historic the first ship that Germany built after World War II that they were permitted too!

[@tommcclintock5019]

This channel is great because you're taking a real classic beauty of a ship and restoring her to her former glory one weld or bucket of paint at a time and we get to watch. Plus it's educational--we learn about the history of Aurora and some of the basics of the restoration work you're doing.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

As they say. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Or in this case,,, One big bite at a time. Glad your enjoying what we’re doing. Stick around, It gets a lot better.

[@RideCamVids]

When I saw the blocked tube in the rain I immediately though what you need a wider tube that's somewhat rectangular in shape to keep its appearance neat, yet flow more efficiently. It's great to watch the restoration and efficient progress being made and as you said reusing the same steel from the ship for a purpose like this means to get to keep the originality as much as is feasibly possible. Any detailed restoration work is not easy, however there really is only one way to do it,,,,, the correct way, as you are doing.

[@AuroraRestorationProject]

It kind of worked out that I had that piece of steel on hand long enough to work maybe 3 scupper on each side. Glad to know we are like minded in project mode. Thanks for watching..

[@mkbarber65]

It’s so cool to see a ship from an era when things were slower and simpler coming back to life. Living on the north shore of Lake Erie certainly doesn’t afford it a much opportunity to see these beautiful vessels so channels like yours are the only way I get to see them. All the best to you and your crew, I look forward to seeing every new video and each project completed

Boats make great projects for those who have the abilities to make things happen.

Here is what I love best about this story. In an era in which so many pieces of history have been lost because we have thirst for the new, it is so refreshing to see this important recycling project preserve this beautiful vessel. Kudos to you and your team!

Thanks for the kind words. It was difficult to look at this beautiful ship and just allow her to remain in peril. It was almost like I had to do something.

You may find it better to use U channel for your scuppers rather than the tube. You will find that the tube no matter what size can get blocked plus it's almost impossible to paint the inside of it correctly to prevent rust. Love that you guys are restoring this classic ship.

I would say this project pulls out some surprises every episode well done with this mammoth job.
